Churches / Places of Worship

Across the United States, we congregate in faith-based venues to worship, learn, play, and bond as a community.

The tabletops in this package address Active Shooter, Explosion, Flood-Recovery, Utility Failure and Sheltering Operations and are a great set of topics for church and places of worship leaders to start a discussion on preparedness .

DHS Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established a website for faith-based organizations that serves as a “one-stop shop” for information on available Federal tools, resources, and assistance: https://www.fema.gov/faith-resources
